Submission Text
The Uinta Basin does need a future economically, but big money, and a railroad costs big money, is not betting in fossil fuels now. Your efforts and tax payer funding would be better spent on education resources, perhaps a university extension, or training center, in this area. The Uinta Basin is also suffering from serious pollution from the current fossil fuel extractive industry- another reason to support a different economic activity. Abandon the Uinta Railway plan.
